Peyton Manning Entertains Fans with 'Furious' Reaction to Losing NFL Pro Bowl Games

Bragging rights belong to the NFC.

The NFC defeated the AFC in the 2023 Pro Bowl Games in Las Vegas on Sunday. It was a format change from years past when the two conferences faced each other in an actual game, and the cumulative final score from the various events that ended with a third flag football game was 35-33.

Peyton and Eli Manning were the coaches of the respective conferences, which came into play at the end.

A flag in the end zone in the final minute on a fourth-down play kept the ball in the NFC's possession with a two-point lead, and Eli decided to kneel the clock out. Peyton was less than pleased, which, along with some responses to Kirk Cousins' impressive showing, drew much of the reaction from the game:

It was notable the game came down to the end even with a cumulative scoring system that saw the AFC build a 21-15 lead ahead of the final flag football game thanks to showings in events such as dodgeball, longest drive, precision passing and best catch.

Yet the NFC completed its comeback thanks in large part to Cousins' heroics that included touchdown passes to Amon-Ra St. Brown, Kyle Juszczyk and George Kittle and one-point conversions to CeeDee Lamb and Minnesota Vikings teammate Justin Jefferson.

It all built toward the controversial finish, as the AFC cut an eight-point deficit to two with a touchdown pass from Derek Carr to Dawson Knox but never got the ball back after its failed two-point conversion.

Peyton Manning argued the kneel down wasn't allowed since teams weren't allowed to call running plays that close to the end zone, but the officials decided against him.
